“You could call us soul mates- yeah, we’re soul mates. It was our destiny to be together, and we’re doing what we were called to do. We’re really happy that calling was music- and that we can do it together.”

Nicholas and Cara Yañez’s story is one that has been told a number of ways, yet it remains special in its own way. The two met in high school in their hometown of Monument, CO. He was a senior, known for his musical swagger, and she was a freshman, whose disdain for shoes was only matched by her passion for Star Wars. They shared mutual friends and musical talent, and after Nicholas’ band split, he became set on creating a duo. Upon returning from a countrywide search for bandmates, it became clear the two were destined to work together. “I entranced him with my vocals,” says Cara.

And so it was written. What began as an effortless friendship soon blossomed into a romance, marriage, a newborn, and the eclectic indie/dance-punk that is Get Along.

Get Along has been a universal entity since 2012, but the two-piece is currently in the midst of a creative rebirth. They’ve held true to this, erasing much of their early work that was online. They’ve strayed away from their previous folk niche and have embarked on a new mission: to create music that is as real as it is awesome, and to stay to true to themselves.

Their recent energy shift has been the breeding ground for constant writing- they’re composing more shocking music, engraved with truths that may surprise you and will make you feel.

They recorded their songs, “Slip Up”, “YUKI”, and “Oh Wicked One” atThe Spot Studios, and while they are heavily focused on the future of their music, these tracks do give you a taste of their soulful, punk, dance-‘til-you-drop vibe. Cara’s booming voice captivates you, while Nicholas’ inventive beats and unexpected progressions keep you craving more. “YUKI” is a song almost entirely sung in Japanese, the language that Cara has been learning for the last two and a half years. This, along with the synth beats and electrifying vocals, is just one example of how Get Along illustrates their unique flair.

Influenced by some of the greats like Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, and David Bowie, Get Along’s live shows are spiritual experiences: an exchange of energy between artists and audience. In past performances, they have donned costumes and war paint, while also painting the faces of their audience members, beckoning you into their imaginative world.

Get Along will return to The Spot Studios at the end of March to record four live sessions to be released in a video compilation. They have hopes of an upcoming 5-song EP and live performances that showcase their newest musical creations.

So get connected with Nicholas and Cara- engage, transform, go a little mad, and become part of their creative carnival. Get Along’s music is available onBandcamp,Soundcloud, and theirwebsite, so give them a listen. You’ll be glad you did.
